The sea of fire used for artifact refining was terrifying beyond measure, even the black fire dragon that belonged to the Heavenly Nether Bird was set ablaze, which shows just how frightening it truly was.

This scene caused the Heavenly Nether Bird's expression to change. It asked in a deep voice, "Kid, have you been to the Refining Cave?"

To be honest, these flames wouldn't overly intimidate the Heavenly Nether Bird, as it had ways to deal with them.

However, what made it truly fear was the fact that the opponent could actually subdue these flames.

A young human with only the cultivation of the Seventh-layered Heaven Venerable had subdued such terrifying flames, which left him deeply shocked.

One must know that inside the Refining Cave, there lay a Supreme Divine Weapon that even he dreaded. If the opponent were to obtain that Supreme Divine Weapon, it would greatly increase the threat to him!

However, Lin Xuan coldly laughed, "I know what you're afraid of; there's no need to guess, that sword is in my hands."

"So, as long as you obediently hand over the Essence Blood and the Black Flame Origin, I can spare you."

From the current situation, Lin Xuan was certain that the Heavenly Nether Bird was absolutely apprehensive of the Supreme Divine Sword in his hand.

"Kid, you're too naive!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird sneered, "If it were the Old Man Cang Song wielding the Supreme Divine Sword back then, I might indeed be very afraid."

"But now, with your cultivation, you pose no threat to me, and furthermore, I am certain that the Supreme Divine Sword has already shattered."

"So right now, that Broken Sword poses no threat to me!"

Though the Heavenly Nether Bird's words were disdainful, its actions were swift, launching a ferocious attack against Lin Xuan once more.

This time, Lin Xuan did not try to resist with his own strength, as the gap between them was simply too great.

The Heavenly Nether Bird was such a monster that even kings had to shy away from, he could not contend with it.

Thus, he fully unleashed the sea of fire to resist the Heavenly Nether Bird, and although he was at a disadvantage for the time being, he was not in immediate danger of losing his life,

"Haha, you are afraid! Though you speak as if you're indifferent, your heart is very much so."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't launch such an attack."

Lin Xuan coldly laughed, now understanding that the Supreme Divine Sword in his hand was extraordinarily fearsome, even in its damaged state, it still intimidated the Heavenly Nether Bird,

He reckoned that in the distant past, the Heavenly Nether Bird must have suffered a loss against this Supreme Divine Sword.

Upon realizing this, Lin Xuan hesitated no longer, lightly tapping the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod with his palm, which immediately emitted a crisp sound.

Clang!

The Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod trembled, and subsequently, a green longsword emerged from within the tripod's body.

"Azure Pine Sword!"

Upon seeing the jade-green longsword, the Heavenly Nether Bird's pupils shrank sharply.

Lin Xuan's guess was correct; it indeed had suffered a significant loss under this Supreme Divine Sword before!

Back in the day, it fought Elder Cang Song to a standstill, and even with Elder Cang Song's strength, he could only reach a draw.

However, because he possessed the Azure Pine Sword, it resulted in the Heavenly Nether Bird's defeat.

It can be said that the Heavenly Nether Bird both hated and feared the Azure Pine Sword.

Now, seeing this treasure sword again naturally shocked it.

However, upon a closer look at the longsword, it instantly burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, I said so, the Azure Pine Sword is already damaged and cannot exert the power it once had!"

Indeed, the Azure Pine Sword was now half broken, and the remaining sword body was covered with cracks, as if on the verge of completely shattering at any moment.

More importantly, there was no longer an Elder Cang Song, only a Broken Sword and a Seventh-layered Heaven Venerable youngster, unable to unleash the potential power within this Supreme Divine Weapon.

Therefore, the Heavenly Nether Bird felt no concern.

"Kid, no wonder you were so arrogant before, daring to negotiate terms with me; I suppose this Azure Pine Sword must be your trump card."

"But unfortunately, your trump card is of no use to me; now I will send you on your way!"

"Rest assured, I won't kill you immediately. I will torment you slowly, making you wish for death!"

"This is the price for provoking me!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird let out a sinister laugh, revealing its ruthless nature as an Ancient Demon Beast.

Saying this, it extended a finger and harshly pressed it downward.

Judging by its appearance, it intended to crush Lin Xuan like an ant.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his expression extremely grave.

In the next moment, he frantically mobilized the Great Dragon Sword Soul within him, causing innumerable sword qi to surge out like a giant dragon, entwining his arm.

Lin Xuan extended his hand, grasping the Azure Pine Sword.

Buzz!

The originally broken Azure Pine Sword came alive, radiating brilliantly, transforming the whole space into a vibrant shade of green.

An intense Sword Dao aura erupted from within the Azure Pine Sword, engulfing heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Azure Pine Sword was fully revived!

"What, this is impossible!"

The smile vanished from the Heavenly Nether Bird's face, and the extended finger halted mid-air.

The shock was beyond enormous.

It could not fathom how the Azure Pine Sword could fully awaken, completely against its expectations.

The Azure Pine Sword was an Earth-rank Treasure, whose power was immense, but it required a vast amount of energy.

In its perception, only those at King Level or above could possibly wield an Earth-rank Treasure.

Therefore, it had not been worried previously, because Lin Xuan was merely a Seventh Layer Venerable, thus unable to wield the Azure Pine Sword.

But now, the opponent had succeeded.

Not only that, but the Azure Pine Sword had fully awakened.

"Damned, how is this possible, what method did he use?!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird showed a hint of panic in its eyes, as the shadow that the Azure Pine Sword cast in the past was extensive.

"Humph, bluffing, it must be bluffing!"

"How could a mere Seventh Layer Venerable fully awaken the Azure Pine Sword? He must have used an Illusion Technique."

"Kid, die!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird roared, its enormous claw covered in endless black flames, pressing down fiercely.

Demon Beasts naturally possessed strong bodies, and coupled with the terrifying Black Flames of the Heavenly Nether Bird, it had no need to use any spells, just utilizing its physical strength would unleash boundless destruction.

As the descending black giant claw approached, Lin Xuan let out a resounding yell, then swung his arm, the Azure Pine Sword in his hand striking swiftly.

The next moment, the green sword qi shone brilliantly, painting the entire sky like a green ocean, a green sword light slashing forward with unparalleled sharpness.

This sword qi was so terrifying that even Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

For he had never witnessed such a fierce sword qi, perhaps such an attack could only be conjured by a King.

The green sword qi slashed ferociously at the black giant claw, causing the Heavenly Nether Bird to emit a wretched cry.

The boundless black flames were sliced through by the green sword light, and even the black giant claw was severed with a massive wound.

White bone could be faintly seen.
